How long do eftpos machines take to time out? I'm imagining you were probably standing and staring for a while.

Very nice though :D

Took the Katana in. Kinda unhappy, said I didnt want a refund but maybe a trade. Turned out the Katana was fine but I was still able to exchange it for something else.

I opted for something more simple and straight forward, the Blackstar HT Club 50. I have a good amount of pedals that do a great job so I wanted something more basic and vanilla, the Blackstar ticked all the boxes. So I got the Blackstar ordered and there it was.. all rung up on the eftpos machine... as I grabbed my card to swipe... I saw something out of the corner of my eye...

The Marshall display....there it was, the DSL100... staring back at me.... and it was on special (triggered :shock: )

I stopped and stared. and mumbled.. "oh.. the DSL"...."thats nice" or something and just looked at it. I was a kid again.... Then the voices inside said..
"you dont need it"
"Marshalls aren't that great"
"You've already researched the blackstar but not this"
"Pay for the blackstar"
"every noob has a Marshall"
"does it even Djent?"
"Just leave it alone"

Right then the eftpos machine beeped as I took too long to swipe.... so I said "I'll take the DSL"

...and here she is
I can do all that over a set of strings.

Agreed. One day I'll buy a JCM800 / 1960a cab with greens. It will be impractical and fabulous.

Nice purchase. Now build a soundproofed iso cab so you can crank and record!
I'm looking at building one in my shed

Ah, DSL. My main amp for years. Doesn't do everything, but really decent at what it does do.

I did a similar thing. Took the Marshall class 5 home to try, took it back in and walked back out with the Hendrix jtm45-100 full stack.

Still got it, and will have it for life...... Or until the new katana firmware is released!

I made a little one that goes "over" a mic once (and one speaker)s, worked great because you still got the sound from the other (or 3 if it was a quad) speakers in the room but the mic was isolated so sound was fatter
If Less is More Then Just Think How Much More More would be

Its been awesome, just sitting there catching dust. Maybe turning into a drying rack. Not been plugged in yet so drying will be slow.
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.
